Introduction - Creating your first app with IBM Rapid Apps for Bluemix (Part 1 of 10): Would you like some help getting started with Rapid Apps? Watch this video series to learn how to create your first app. You can follow along and create your own simple app for managing an office supply closet. Your co-workers can use the app to make requests for the office supplies they need. Send your co-workers a confirmation email when they make a request and again when the supplies arrive.

Create a native data set - Creating your first app with IBM Rapid Apps for Bluemix (Part 2 of 10): This video is part 2 in the video series, Create your first app with IBM Rapid Apps for Bluemix. Create a data set to store the supply request information that is submitted to app. Start a data set from scratch by creating a native data set. To begin, define what kind of data you want to collect with your app. Create column headers, which are called attributes and set formatting requirements for each one.

With the new support for incremental publish and remote debug of applications, we now only need to publish the delta code changes instead of redeploying the entire application, significantly reducing the deployment time and making application development targeting Bluemix easier than ever.

Monitoring a virtual user during RPT schedule execution-This is a demonstration of setting up the monitoring of a virtual user during schedule execution in IBM Rational Performance Tester (RPT) V8.6. This is helpful if you want to check on the status of a virtual user independent of the result of the entire schedule execution. You can find more information about this activity in the Rational Performance Tester documentation: http://ibm.co/1CU5dgT
